You don't want to push a guy too far this early in the season. Especially a guy who's had a bad injury before. I would rather not see Simon Castro come up this early.

I believe that Castro pitched last night, so if Jake doesn't make his start tomorrow it would probably be Zach Stewart getting the call.

I had hoped that Andre Rienzo would have started off better, given the year he had last year, or else he might have been the one getting the call tomorrow. His stuff is still good, he's striking out almost 8 per 9 IP, the results just haven't been there.

It was obvious with the direction of the club prior to the season that they would not compete, so not trading their injury prone players prior to the season is borderline incompetence.

Rick Hahn is off to a horrible start as general manager.

Unless I'm mistaken, Kenny Williams' first major move as GM was to acquire resident staff ace David Wells, as his first Sox team got off to a 14-29 start, and less than 5 years later he brought us World Series. Perspective.

What does that have to do with the piss poor job Hahn's done?

He failed to improve the team and he failed to capitalize on assets when he needed to if he wasn't going to improve the team. Maybe he thought the Sox would be good, but for that reason alone he should be fired. Nobody thought that. If he's pulling the strings, the man isn't baseball competent.

After spending much of last year in first place, most Sox fans would have rioted if before the season began Hahn waved the white flag on 2013.

__________________The universe is the practical joke of the General at the expense of the Particular, quoth Frater Perdurabo, and laughed. The disciples nearest him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow. Others laughed, seeing the Universal Joke. Others wept. Others laughed. Others wept because they couldn't see the Joke, and others laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke. But though FRATER laughed openly, he wept secretly; and really he neither laughed nor wept. Nor did he mean what he said.

Is has to do with the fact that he's been general manager for all of 6 ****ing months. It's a bit early to be declaring him baseball incompetent.

I don't know why I'm bothering, seems a bit pointless to engage the king of armchair GMs at this point.
